You may be eligible for a monthly check from the VA in many cases of between $1,200 and $3,252 per month (or more for calendar years 2022 and 2023) for military services you (or your spouse) performed for our country many years (even decades) ago.
If you want the bottom line and you want to find out if its likely you’re eligible for a monthly check from the VA (I say likely eligible because of course the VA makes that decision), then the quickest way to find out is to call my office at (855) 376-5291 and schedule a consultation with me or a member of my office.
Then, after scheduling a brief in person meeting or phone conversation with me, I’ll be able to give you an understanding of what benefits may, or may not, be available to you or your spouse through the VA.
If there are things we can do to help you get qualified, we’ll let you know. And if there is nothing to do or no steps to take we’ll let you know that too.
This benefit amount increases annually so check the current benefit amount prior to applying.
Wouldn’t it be nice to have a trusted guide, someone who has been on this path many times before, shine a light and show you where to go and what pitfalls to avoid? That’s what I do for my clients as I take them through VA benefit eligibility.
If you would like to discover if you are eligible for a VA benefit, call me toll-free at (855) 376-5291. Or, if you would prefer, email me at fniemann@hnlawfirm.com and ask me to follow up with you. That way, if you need answers you have a place to turn to. And I am happy to help you right away if scheduling permits.
